Depending on what you do, civilians can also see jail time .
Look up dereliction of duty. I guarantee that the punishment is always the same. You do your duty or you pay the price. Period.
Shall we apply that to the civilian workforce too?
It already is applied to civilian workers, do your job or pay the price, the price is being fired
Except that we both know that isn't true. It takes an act of God to fire a Federal employee.
That’s not true .
What do you think happens more . Fed employee being fired , or someone being thrown out the service ?
People being tossed out of the Military. BTW, it is true. Just ask those women in the VA who committed crimes but couldn't be fired.
Sorry, but it is beyond time that we alter the rules for federal employees and make it possible for managers to fire poor performers or those who are simply derelict.
